Brockenbow – Denim the French way

by Melanie Gropler — October 19, 2015

"Women's legs are compasses that stride the globe." It was French film director, screenwriter, producer, actor, and film critic François Truffaud who first stated this in 1977. This phrase was also the inspiration for Christophe and Laetitia Bosc to launch their own label in 2014: Brockenbow.

The young denim label was founded as a contemporary denim brand meant to fuse Parisian sophistication with effortless chic. Founder and couple Christophe and Laetitia Bosc, who met ten years ago in a denim factory in Los Angeles, created the label for the denim loving woman who is seeking a chic, elegant, adventurous, sexy, natural but stylish look. The collection is divided into capsule which includes a wide range of textures, fabrics and shapes. The line contains various fits and styles from clean fits over to heavy washed styles with repair details to coated denim and unexpected surface structures.

Both founders have been in the denim and fashion business with years of experience on hand. Coming from a Parisian family of textile entrepreneurs, Laetitia Bosc has developed a passion for this industry in early years. Before she started with her own brand she worked as a designer in Los Angeles for several denim brands. Her partner Christophe Bosc was trained by Jimmy Taverniti, a master of denim in the 80’s, before he held several positions in this industry including general manager for brands like Marzotto to Valentino through to Marlboro Classics and Faith Connexion that he co-founded in 2005.

The couple added Thierry Lelann, a stylist who has been trained by another master of denim, and who has then perfected his talent in houses as prestigious as Balenciaga or Rick Owens, becoming one of the few real denim experts.
